What Happened to Seahorse Tours!

Back in 2006, When Seahorse Tours opened there was not a lot of marketing going on at Subic Bay. Only a few hotels had websites and none had automatic booking. You sent an email and waited for an answer. Seahorse Tours helped bring internet marketing to Subic Bay. We helped hotels and resorts build their websites and we even had free classes in internet marketing. After a few years a local company opened providing an online booking function that many hotels started to use. Seahorse was still strong, as potential visitors still visited our website for information and enquired about bookings. However, overtime the major booking engines such as Agoda reached out to the Subic Area. After a while we saw a decline in bookings, while seeing an increase in traffic. People were still visiting our website looking for information, often sending email asking questions. At one point reservations had dropped 90% but we still had the same amount of inquiries. We took a list of names of people and groups we recommended hotels to and ask those hotels if there were any reservations in those names. 75% did have reservations, made using Agoda. That started the end of Seahorse tours. The website is still popular, and we will now keep it current and if you can’t beat them, join them. We will offer instant confirmations using the Agoda system owned by Priceline a U.S. traded corporation. The seahorsetours.com website will be redeveloped along with the subicbayhotel.com website. This effort will focus on the Subic Bay area.but also allow reservations worldwide.
